The Seven Cuticura Boys

Our oldest child now six years OF age,
when am infant six months old was attacked
with Il virulent, malignant skin disease.
Al ordinary remedies failing, we called our
family physician, who attempted to cure it
but it spread with almost incredible rapid.
ty, until the lower portion of the little fell
lows person, from the middle of his back
down to his knees, was one solid rash, ugly,
painful, blotched, malicious. We had no
rest at night, no piece by day. Finally, we
were advised to try the CuTICUBA REMEDY.
The effect was simply marvellous. In three
or four weeks complete cure was wrought,
leaving the little fellows person as white
and healthy as though lac had never been
attacked. 'In my opinion, your valuable
remedies saved his life, and today he is a
strong, healthy child, perfectly well, no
repetition of the disease having ever oc-
cured. V

New YORK, Dec 25.-Morey Hale
Barlow was found dead in his room at No.
At Lafayette place to-day. He was 60
years old, a bachelor, and lived alone
there. The greater part of his time was
spent in solitude with his books. He was
a member of the American Geographical
Society Of New York, the Historical Soc
iety, the Genealogical Society, the Huguc-
not Society and was at one time secretary
Of the society for the Advancement of
and Arts.
He was a descendant of the family of
which Nathan Hale was q member and
had given much research to the incidents
connected with the execution of the young
American patriot by the British. Last
evening Mr.. Barlow told the wife Of the
~ianitor of the building in which he lived
that he had at last succeeded in making
provision for the comfort of his mother
who was SO years old, and his three sisters,
Sciences who lived with her.
Though not generally known TO many,
this is the first reference that anyone can
remember him to have ever made to his
immediate family. On his washstand
was found a letter signed Mother, post
marked Logansport. Indiana, and a tele-
gram has been sent to that place announc-
ing his death.

He Deluded the Widow.

OMAHA, Dec. 25.-About ten weeks
ago a gentleman of pleasant address, and
about 40 years old, named f. II. Parker
secured a position as travelling salesman
with an Omaha wholesale house, and
shortly afterwards handed in a letter to
the Castella Methodist church. He was
soon recognized as one of the most de-
voted communicates. A handsome widow,
named Mrs. Laclede, came to Omaha from
Chicago, and also united with the church.
Brother Parker soon began paying his
addresses to her.
He represented that he was the senior
member of the firm for which he travelled
and during their drives about the city he
pointed out some of the handsomcst resi-
dences and told her they were his. He
took a particular fancy for the elegant
home of A. j. Poppleton on Spruce
street, and he promised to deed it to her
if she would marry him. She consented
and the ceremony was performed on
Thanksgiving day. He made her the
deed as he had promised, but when she
went to have it recorded she found it was
worthless.
She continued to live with him rather
than bear the publicity of a sensation, and
even loaned him considerable money.
The church had about 81, 900 coming to it
in the way of pledges and Brother Parker
was asked to collect it. He did so and
about two weeks ago he disappeared.
leaving his wife and the deluded church
members in the lurch.

PerlIs OF the Deep.

PROVIDENCE, r. L. Dec. 26.-Capt.
Terrey OF the schooner NJ. G. Mosley of
Boston, from Gonaivcs, Hayti, came into
%Stonington, Conn, Sunday night and
landed Seaman Borden Manchester of
Fall River, Mass, the sole survivor of the
crew of the schooner Mary p. Collins of
Philadelphia. Capt. Terrey reports that
while in latitude 800 TO- longitude To
40/, while he was hove to in a severe gale,
he saw the schooner above mentioned
hove to and showing signals of distress.
Although the sea was running mountains
high Capt. Terrey launched a boat and
went to the relief of the vessel. 1t re
CURED great effort to keep the frail yawl
%afioat, but he was making a most dcsper-
ate effort to succor human life and with
his gallant crew ncrved themselves for
the task before them, only thinking of
their imperilled brothers. Inch by inch
they gained on the sinking vessel and
would Don have been alongside, but
when almost within reach the Mary p.
Collins lurched to starboard and sank,
taking down her captain and FIVE of her
crew. Manchester was found afioat on a
plank and was taken aboard the Mosley.
Manchester says the Mary p. Collins left
Norfolk with a cargo of $50 tons of coal,
bound for Somerset.

KANSAS Cry, Dec. 25.-A special to
the Times from Atoka, L. T., says q bold
attempt at train robbery occurred neal
that place at a late hour last night. As
the ~southbound Missouri, Kansas & Texas
passenger was about to lea7e, two men
boarded the engine and compelled the
engineer to run to a bridge a short dis
lance from the station. Upon arriving
there the train was stopped and five more
men Joined the two robbers who had first
got onto the train. All were armed with
Winchesters and revolvers.
The express messenger, John Grim
shaw, saw them coming and he locked the
door and with the assistance Of the bag
gagemaster, who happened to be in the
awaited developments. The robbers,
thus bafied at the outset, forced the
engineer to get chisels and other tools
and attempted to break open the door.
All assaults on it were vain, however,
and the robbers fired several shots through
the car, and then went to the mail car,
which was also bolted. They contented
themselves with firing through it several
times, and then went back to the Pullman
car and gave ii n similar salute without
attempting to get in. They finally re.
turned to the baggage car. where Grim
shaw and the baggagemaster still held
forth, and threatened to set it on fire.
This failed to brighten the sturdy messen-
ger, and after having detained the train
thirty minutes without getting a cent the
robbers rather sheepishly rode away. No
one was hurt. Great credit is given to
GrimshaT for his bravery.

Does anybody ever get rich dealing on
q margin?" Mr.. Dunn was asked.

vidual; they all go broke"
Then I should think the business

there are always pigeons to be plucked.
Watch any prominent brokers' Office for
4 year and you will see a complete change
in the people who frequent it. One crowd
gets cleaned out and another crowd takes
its place"
"Who arc the victims?''
''They con from every walk of life,
but the brokers' best customers are mer-
chants and business men who begin by
risking a little money that they can spare
without hurting them. A few stop when
they have lost their little surplus, but
most of them stick to the game until they
are cleaned out and in the hands of tho
sheriff or assignees. Those who escaLs

LARAMIE CITY, Dec. ga terrible
collision between two freight trains oc-
CURED at Aurora station, sixty five miles
west of this city, at Q O'Clock Saturday
night, exactly one week after the fatality
which resulted in the death of Frank Me
Mahon at Denver, Friday.
In the present complicated condition of
affairS it is impossible to arrive at the pre-.
else particulars. Though the majority of
railroad men attribute the wreck to the
failure Of air brakes to respond at the
proper time, others insist that the pro
mitigation OF what is technically called a
LAP over order caused the most damag-
ing head end collision which has befell the
the Union Pacific for years.
AT the hour stated four monster mogul
engines struck with the crash of a cannon
ball against a frail parapet. The pair of
locomotives west bound were completely
demolished. They we're loaded on fiat
cars by hand, the largest whole piece. left
Of either being the smoke stack of the
second engine. One shrieking cripple lay
lengthwise across the track and was bur
led from sight by coal cars from the rear.
Two men were seriously injured, one
perhaps fatally. Engineer Thomas Lynch
sustained the dislocation of his
left hip, the fracture of
two ribs on his left side, a wound
tearing the flesh completely from the bone
over the right eye and painful bruises in
other portions ofhis anatomy. Lynch is
the worst used up man in the territory but
will recover.
The other victim was VIM. Bodlcy.
head brakeman for Conductor Williams.
His left leg below the knee was so borri-
bly, crushed and mangled that he was
dieted on strengthening cordials twelve
hours before the surgeons dared admins
ter the shock incident to amputation. He
was very low several times yester-
day, and will scarcely recover.

Living Skeleton.
Michigan's Governors Gener-
GUS Gifts.
The Great Strike May be Long
and Bitter.
She takes the Skeleton.

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 25.-For weeks
past j. W. Coffee, aliving skeleton, has
been on exhibition here announcing in his
advertisement hat he had a fortune and
was DESTROYS of marrying. The matter
was looked upon as a huge Joke until
Saturday, when Coffee and his manager
repaired to the county clerks Office aud
procured a marriage license, the victim
being Miss Eva Courtwright, the daugh-
ter Of a farmer living ten miles west of
this city. Miss Courtwright had seen
Coffee advertised in the papers and visited
the museum. She talked with the articu-
lated bones, anl satisfying herself that he
ment business, announced her willingness
to marry him. She hen returned to her
home and notified her parents, who were
loud in their disapproval, and threatened
to take legal steps to prevent the marriage,
but the young lady reminded them of the
fact that she is 30 years old and that she
would do as suited her best, and the mar
rage took place to night.
Miss Courtwright is quite coed looking
and before this craze struck her she was
credited with ordinary common sense.

well, mamma, isn't it funny how
people turn into other things?'
But people don't turn into othei
things, my dear; those are only stories,
you know, in Alice in Wonderland.
Yes; but, mamma, they do turn into
other things. Little girls turn into mann
mas, and mammas turn into grandmas."
THAT is true"
"And boys turn into papas, and papaa
turn into grandpas."

So it seems that there is such a thing rs
metamorphosis in this world, after all, if
one only looks at it from the right point

the picturesque things out of existence
that we might if we took the childIks

pointed spectators left the stands. The
defeat of the Chicagos is the third in sue
cesslon. The score was: st. Louis II,

The Great Strike.

SHAMoKIN, Pa. Dec. 26.-Two freight
trains were moved to-day on the Phila-
delphia x Reading road. The crews
were hooted by boys, bnt no other demon
STATIONS were made. A small number of
conductors and brakemcn will report for
duty to- morrow and many engineers sig
nifty their intention to resume when called
upon, claiming that they are not Knights
of Labor. 1t is believed that the miners
will strike if called upon, although a num-
Der of them are not in sympathy with the
movement. The Union Coal company,
the Lennox Coal company and several in
dividual collieries will be the only mines
in operation in this region should the
Reading miners go out. The strike is
generally condemned in business circles.
READING, Pa, Dec. 2G.-Thcre will
be no strike of Reading railroad employees
in this city. About 2OOO men arc cm-
ployed in the company's shops here. A
meeting was held this afternoon and there
was much public speculation as to what
would be the result. There is a conserva-
tive element in Reading which think the
strike ill-advised and impracticable. The
convention was composed of machinists,
car shop hands, car inspectors, black
smiths, engineers and men employed in
every department of traffic on the Read

Mr.. Leubrle should receive liberal cncour-
agement, for what this section now needs
more than anything else is the assistance
Of foreign capital to aid in development
and bring on a boom which will be lasting.
